dnsnrk's KDB67 MKII Layout
- This is a three layer layout wih some consolidated functionality in the second and third layer.
- The keyboard is mostly used on macOS, but also on Linux and therefore it can swap ALT/CMD.
- There are additional CTRL keys for left and right when caps lock or enter key is held.
- Layers can be toggled (tap twice) or actived momentarily (hold).
- There are 2 seperate FN keys to activate layer 1 and 2 separately, indicated by different RGB colors.
- The main custom feature is using RGB to indicate the current active layer for each key. This is best achieved in solid color RGB modes.
Layer 0
This is the base QUERTY layer.
- Grave is provided in the top right corner.
- Caps lock is tapped once on and off and indicated by hue inverted LED when on.
- Caps lock and enter become CTRL when held.
- Primary Fn in the last row activates layer 1, indicated by hue shifted LED color.
- Secondary Fn right to the up arrow key activates layer 2, indicated by 2nd hue shifted LED color.
- Toggle layers by tapping Fn twice or switch on by holding Fn.
